A viewer asks: “I’ve noticed a couple of times trying to play Frisbee in the backyard with my dog that he seems to get scared and doesn’t want to continue. Today he even eagerly wanted to be picked up and I carried him from the downstairs yard up into my kitchen. He held on tight and that’s unlike him. He was definitely afraid of something and didn’t want to play. I then took him outside by the front door and everything was okay. Something similar had been happening along the riverfront at the beginning of last winter and we worked it through by reassuring him and even carrying him if need be. He’s a medium-sized dog and weighs 50 lb. At that time Creator told us that there were some menacing energies that he sensed intuitively and just to reassure him and act confidently. I don’t understand how spirits could be bothering us in the backyard, and that he would be noticing them given that we request clearing and protection via the LHP at all times, including for the property. The other strange thing about this is he frequently goes out in the backyard by himself without any apparent problem. It’s well fenced and no other animals get in there. This has only happened when we play Frisbee, which we used to do frequently and he was great at it in his last lifetime. He is generally very well-adjusted and doing well and we’ve been pursuing courses towards him becoming a therapy animal.” What is Creator’s perspective?

This is simply a consequence of the heightened activity and the energy of consciousness the dog is emanating in response to the joyous play underway. That energetic intensity is getting noticed and attracting spirits coming to see what is happening and if there is anything they can exploit. So here is an example of a free will intention that has a potential downside of a minor sort because neither the dog nor yourself in accompanying him is carrying any significant risk here. You are both being protected, as you request, but it is more difficult to counter what might be caused by your direct actions or those of your dog because free will is allowed by the both of you even if that can have some complications and a potential downside. Depending on the circumstances, that can be mitigated, and that is in keeping with the spirit of the healing work you have done with the intention it will, indeed, help your future as it unfolds, but obtaining perfection cannot be guaranteed here. This is a minor annoyance, and simply that the dog is quite sensitive to spirit presences, and this is a karmic legacy and a healing need. The work is in progress and your requests for help, for him to be less vulnerable, will be of value as well. This is not a real threat, as we have said, so we do not want this to in any way ramp up your fear. This can be managed and need not be life-limiting.
